The 12-story hubBa -- real name: Hub IIThe James -- will include a rooftop terrace with a pool, volleyball court, and 2 hot tubs. It's a companion building to the Hub Madison on North Frances St.

The sun prevented me from getting the perspective I wanted here.

The cranes as seen from the front of the Kohl Center.

Opened in August 2015, the 313-unit hubbA, known as Hub Madison in real life, is the u-shaped building that dominates the left half of this photo. Studio apartments start at $1,250 per month per person. (But, hey, they're well-appointed!)

The 356-unit hubBa -- a.k.a Hub II, rechristened The James -- is under construction in the foreground.
